<\/p>\n

Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard, has confirmed Jorginho has replaced Ross Barkley, as the team\u2019s primary penalty taker, following Saturday\u2019s win over Brighton.<\/p>\n

Barkley missed a crucial spot kick against Valencia 10 days ago, spurning the opportunity to earn a point for his side on matchday one of the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Lampard at the time, insisted the England midfielder was right to take on the responsibility given he was, at the time, the designated man for the job.<\/p>\n

After a goalless first half against Brighton, it was Jorginho who stepped up following a foul on Mason Mount three minutes after the re-start, to make it 1-0.<\/p>\n

Asked whether Jorginho was now top of his penalty pecking order, Lampard told reporters: \u201cYes he is, end of story. He is one of the leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe needed the win. We haven\u2019t had a 90 minute game where we\u2019ve controlled it enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only disappointment is we didn\u2019t have more goals. A clean sheet as well. It is good for the confidence of everyone.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a lot of shots first half. But weak finishing and a bit of bad luck. You do start to wonder but you have to remain confident it will come and it did.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
